I have my PNR number but when I enter it into Etihad manage my flights it comes up as "No special characters or numbers allowed" -any ideas.Thanks

Thank you for your email

I am aware of the comments being raised on Cruise Critic.

I would like to make you aware that All inclusive drinks in all areas of the ship would only become applicable from Summer 17 onwards for guests booked in Yacht Club. For guests booked on Winter 16/17 sailings, all inclusive drinks will only be covered within Yacht Club areas only including the lounge, mini-bar, and your dedicated restaurant for Yacht Club guests

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further assistance.

Kind regards

Just sent an email to UK customer services to get their response,will post the comments.

Just received my e-ticket for 8th Jan on Fantasia from UK and states:-

"Unlimited food and beverage in MSC Yacht Club area"

If you have a tea or coffee delivered to your room in a morning(as there are no tea making facilities)are you expected to tip.

In the UK and wonder if MSC offer military members outside the USA.

Anyone any idea when I can book my seats from Manchester to Abu Dhabi,asked my TA and they have replied that MSC have block booked

Taken from MSC brochure:-

In principle, smoking is not permitted in any food service areas (buffets and restaurants, the medical centres, child-care areas, corridors or elevator foyers, areas where Guests are assembled in groups for safety exercises, disembarkation or tour departures, public toilets, or in bars close to areas where food is served.

Yet in the Top Sail Lounge which has a food service area an area is set aside for smokers.This area is totally open to the rest of the lounge and smoke drifts everywhere.Anyone like to comment?

are there many children in yacht club.

anyone know the taxi price from abu dhabi cruise port to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.thanks

Sorry I beg to differ again,just back from a cruise last week and noted that the obc was as the original post.

Just off Preziosa and all they had was one consultant with no brochures in English.Also the queue was a mile long,so gave up in the end.

Is there any chance of a curry or any other spicy food on MSC or is it mostly Italian.Thanks

Sailing on Preziosa in Europe during Oct this year in Y/Club.What is the normal dress standard for the formal nights as we are undecided what to pack -Thanks

Hi

 

We are on preziosa out of Genoa on October 15th

what cabin are you in?

Everyone here is so worried about people not washing their hands but have you ever thought what's in the swimming pools or hot tubs? How about the lounge chairs? That person sitting next to you for hours in the hot tub drinking beer--How does he hold it so long? If some people are so prone to getting sick then perhaps they shouldn't go on a cruise ship.[/quote

 

The point I tried to made was not washing your hands after going to the toilet then making everyone else sick rather than not going on cruises

You know, I think for the most part, people have no problem washing their hands. What really bothers me is when people go to the bathroom and don't bother with washing. Perhaps I'm horrible, but I have no problem publically shaming people that don't wash their hands after going to the toilet. It happens every single cruise where someone will leave the bathroom without washing their hands, and I'll publically call them out in the hall so everyone can be in earshot to purposely embarrass that individual. I think it's disgusting and not right. Don't get me wrong - there have been times when I've been told to "f-off" or that it's none of my business. But the fact of the matter remains that it's just gross to not wash your hands after going to the bathroom and it has the potential to make others on the ship sick. I also find it sad that most people that don't wash after the bathroom are seniors. I'm not sure why.

 

On a side note, before each cruise I buy a container of Lysol wipes and disinfect my entire stateroom. I know that stateroom attendants do a pretty good job, but I don't think they really go as far as cleaning the telephone, light switches, door knobs, drawer handles, TV remote, etc. Getting sick on a cruise is awful, and I try every which way to ensure I don't get sick.

I totally agree it just takes one person not washing there hands to infect the whole ship-who are these people as everyone who has replied to this post washes there hands.There must be a better way to police the hand washing and its such an easy cop out to say the sanitizers affect your skin,everyone going to eat should either use the gel or be forced some way to wash their hands or not be allowed in.You could make that a condition of the cruise the same as no smoking is.

maybe they should show the videos and play the jingles in the public toilets as when an outbreak occurs it must cost the company a fortune.

Just back from the ovation and the washing facilities were superb.The ship is designed with open wash hand basins at the front of the windjammer(open buffet)and you are forced to wash your hands(with hot water )before entering.A crew member checks hands are washed and its the best I have ever seen on any ship and I hope this is a sign of the future.

Just read that there is an outbreak of novovirus on the eclipse which I am on next week and do not understand why the cruise companys do not do more to make us wash our hands.In normal times it is still possible to enter the dining rooms without using gel but I suppose the main problem is as to why people do not wash there hands after going to the toilet.

Have a query with my shareholder OBC but do not know who to contact -anyone any ideas .Thanks

You are correct it was the 22nd sailing and you would have thought a ship with so much technology keeping food warm would have been no problem?.As regards complaining I think its a waste of time as you never get to see anyone who could change things all I have ever had is a polite brush off.

Thanks for the helpful advice-I guess its a low priority with most people

Just back from ovation of the seas ,good cruise but food never served hot.Any ideas on future cruise how this can be rectified,especially in windjammer.
